Napa
Napa, lies at the southeastern end of the Napa Valley, forming the valley's southern terminus. This is the largest town in the area, with approximately 60,000 residents (which represents roughly half the population of the entire county). Napa is an affluent town, to be sure, at once modern and historic. It has both upscale shops and malls, as well as quaint bed and breakfast establishments housed in restored Victorians. There are also museums, galleries, parks, good restaurants and hotel accommodations here, making it an ideal base from which to explore the rest of the valley.
The chief attraction in Napa is Copia, where the food and wine culture is well preserved. Copia is in parts a museum, gallery, tasting bar, cafe, culinary institute, and performing arts venue. It hosts concerts year-round, changing exhibitions, and a constantly evolving roster of both California and international wines for tasting. There’s a Julia Child “kitchen” here, as well as museum exhibits dedicated to the history of California wine.
